Vic Gold on George W. Bush's hubris

George W. had one of the greatest resources in foreign relations and political experience in the world -- his old man! What if he didn't have this hubris of 'I am going to do it on my own'? If he had listened to his old man in terms of what to do after 9/11 and everything, he wouldn't have been in the mess he is in right now, and the country would not be in the mess it is right now.

Words to live by

" . . .realism is not the enemy of idealism, and taxpayers aren't being selfish when they place a heavy burden on those who would ask them to part with some of their money.

Advocates of public action need to meet
that test."

— Washington Post's EJ Dionne writing about CA's failed universal preschool initiative
